Abstract

In this paper, some Turán-type inequalities for Mittag–Leffler functions are considered. The method is based on proving monotonicity for special ratio of sections for series of Mittag–Leffler functions. Furthermore, we deduce the Lazarević- and Wilker-type inequalities for Mittag–Leffler functions.
